Letter sent 3/15/2011 by certified mail, receipt confirmation received 3/21/2011. As of 6/25/2011, no response has been received. See exhibit C. 3G. Floral and Faunal Resources. The subject property has had primarily Guinea Grass, California Grass, and Bermuda Grass as its natural cover for the past ten years. However, in the past year I have planted several hundred small fruit trees, bananas, payapas, as well as diversified vegetables which make up the present covering along with the grasses. There are no animals larger than toads and small birds living on the property. Coqui frogs do live on the property, along with toads, typical field insects such as grasshoppers. 3H. Valued Cultural Resources: Identify any traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights that are exercised in the area; the extent in which the proposed development will affect these rights; and feasible action to be taken to protect native Hawaiian rights if they exist. There are no native Hawaiian or sugar can industry relics on the property. 3I. Public Access: Existing public access to and along the shoreline or to mountain areas and knowledge of whether public access is being used. There is no public access through the property for any reason and no public site of any kind on the property. 3J. Description of access(es) to the area (e.g. width, type of surface and condition of roadway). If a private roadway, submit evidence of access rights. The present state highway (also known as Akaka Falls Road) runs along the property for 370 feet, this being the southeast border of the property. The present access to the property is via a permitted, completed paved entrance drivaway 34' wide (plan for the entrance to the state highway made 3/25/2002, approved 1/28/2003, permit issued 2/19/2003, completed 3/2/2004). There are no sidewalks on either side of the highway at this point or on nearby streets. The condition of the Akaka Falls Road running along the property is a very good paved road, 34' wide actual paved of which 12' per lane, 4' paved outside the white line on the far side, and 6' paved outside the white line on the side bordering the property. The legal size of the road is 40'. See exhibit D for road and entrance detail. 3K. Traffic impacts - assessment of existing traffic conditions, anticipated increase in traffic and traffic impacts from proposed use (a formal study may be requested by Department of Public Works or Department of Transportation during the review process). Minimal anticipated traffic impact. The property is still within downtown Honomu, the speed of the traffic is low, and the traffic is far below the carrying capacity of the road. 3L. Availability of Utilities: Water, telephone, electricity, sewage disposal. Electricity is available directly on the opposite side of the road. I already have one temp -perm pole in for my existing permitted construction. Water line rights run in a 10- foot -wide easement along the road, and there are 14 water commitments allowed for the subject property, per verbal and written confirmation from the Honomu water department. Additionally, rainfall is adequate to allow catchment use for both household and emergency.
